Four teams could now be relegated from the Premier Soccer League it has emerged ,with only two rounds of action left.

ZIFA had initially resolved that only two teams would be relegated this season with a playoff between the teams that finish top of the four Division One leagues determining the two sides that will gain promotion.

However ZIFA is understood to be on the verge of reversing the decision and instead relegate four teams like in previous seasons.

When contacted on the situation ZIFA spokesperson Xolisani Gwesela said, “A decision regarding that issue would be announced in due course”

If ZIFA goes ahead to relegate four teams it would mean Chapungu and Tsholotsho who had been occupying “safe spots” would go down together with Border Strikers (already relegated) and Mutare City who are second from bottom with 25 points. Hwange and Triangle are not entirely safe either if four teams are relegated with both teams tied on 35 points.
